Lordan & Hassett take the opener with Jacks

The biggest surprise was the price and if he was running under the Ballydoyle banner he'd have been money-on. If he was Aidan O'Brien's, you'd be saying where is he in the Derby picture and his run at the Curragh has turned out to be a serious maiden. We haven't discussed if he is for sale yet as he has been a fun horse but that's him finished for the year and we'll have to supplement him for some of those bigger races next year. Edmond (Ryan) bought him and owns him along with his wife Grainne and my wife Deirdre.

Setting jets away with Concorde Stakes

That was important today as there was a bit of pressure on. She just loves the ground - there's just no getting away from it and also loves that trip which is perfect for her. We'll sit down with the owners at Newmarket (Sales) next week and make a plan but wherever it is bottomless she'll turn up between now and the end of the year. There's a couple of Group 3's in France and a couple of Listed races but if it turned up bottomless on Champions Day at Ascot she could run in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. There's no decision made on next year but they're talking about going to stud with her. However I was saying to Shane (Foley) if there was going to be good prizes next spring in ground like that, that I'd prefer to have her racing. We've gone up in numbers (since Jet Setting's Guineas win) and have bought a good few yearlings in the last few weeks. We'll be sorting out the good from the bad over the winter and trying to find new owners too.

Well-backed Downforce holds off Speaker

He was very consistent - the last day he was just very unlucky when he was shuttled back to last but flew home. He got there too soon today and travelled so well. He loves that ground and obviously it is a Fast Company thing as the filly (Classic winner Jet Setting) won the previous race. He moves like it is good ground and the rest seem to be struggling. We'll see about maybe one more run but his owner Donal (Finnan) is over for a few weeks so said we'd run him twice. He's originally from Kilcock but is now living in New York.

Easy for Ivan in the Istabraq Hurdle

Penhill completes double for Mullins & Walsh

Cradle stays on best under McGarvey

He knows plenty about the game and never travels or jumps but has plenty ability. It's nice to get him to win again and he'll go for something similar again.

Lady completes Mullins/Walsh treble

Mikey proves too good for market principals

I was a little afraid of the ground but he had been waltzing around the place at home with his chest out recently so I had to run him! He's better on good ground though and won't go on winter ground. He is seven but was a very free and highly strung horse and took time. I've learned how to train him and Declan (Queally) has learned how to ride him and rides him at his own pace. I'll look for a maiden hurdle next and I'll look for a big galloping track.
